Apple has announced the much-anticipated release of the new iPhone 6 will be on the September 9…or have they?

The tech giants sent out invitations for a launch event that will be held at the Flint Center for the Performing Arts in Cupertino, California. And while its expected that the company will unveil its new iPhone model, they declined to say what exactly will be announced at the event, just saying ‘Wish we could say more.’

Multiple leaks have supposedly identified nearly every aspect of the new device, from its size (likely to be one 4.7-inch screen and one 5.5-inch screen) and it’s probably curved edges, to its expected 128GB of storage and reversible USB cable.

French tech site Nowhereelse has also published images of what they say are leaked SIM trays from the new model, which suggest it will come in gold, silver and grey.

Apple is expected to launch the phone alongside the iWatch.
